10. Parinaud

11. Henri Parinaud
Henri Parinaud (1 May 1844, Bellac – 23 March 1905, Paris( was a French
ophthalmologist and neurologist, most noted for his work in the field of
neuro-ophthalmology.

12. Parinaud’s oculoglandular Conjunctivits
a rare condition consisting of chronic low-grade fever, unilateral
granulomatous conjunctivitis with surrounding follicles, and
ipsilateral regional (preauricular( lymphadenopathy. It is virtually
synonymous with cat scratch disease caused by Bartonella
hensela

20. Schiøtz

21. Hjalmar August Schiøtz
(9 February 1850 – 8 December 1927) was a Norwegian physician,
ophthalmologist and educator. Schiøtz is credited as being Norway's first
professor of ophthalmology.

Superintendent at Guy's Hospital, London

33. Gass

34. J. Donald M. Gass
(2 August 1928, Montague, Prince Edward Island – 26 February 2005,
Nashville, Tennessee) was a Canadian-American ophthalmologist, one of
the world's leading specialists on diseases of the retina

35. Gass Clssification of macular hole

36. Gass Clssification of prafoveal

37. Irvine-Gass syndrome.

39. Dr. Gass helped to pioneer the use of fluorescein
angiography, a test that traces a vegetable dye
injected into blood vessels within the retina, and
so reveals signature patterns of leaking and
blockage in those vessels. Dr. Gass used that test
to characterize the often subtle differences among
diseases, combining angiography with other
observations in describing the wet form of macular
degeneration and refining existing descriptions of
other disorders
He is also well known for his work in finding the
link between acute zonal occult outer retinopathy
(AZOOR) and other retinal syndromes and in the
treatment of diffuse unilateral subacute
neuroretinitis

Austrian ophthalmologist, born July 24, 1907, Kirchbichl, North Tyrol;
died February 5, 1999, Tyrol.

with/without fundus flavimaculatus. Disease picture seen in a larger
Tyrolean kindred with translucent iris, hereditary nystagmus, and
partly fundus flavimaculatus. Inheritance is autosomal dominant.

of Nottingham and is the head of the Division of Ophthalmology and

In a 2013 paper, Dua and others at the University of Nottingham reported discovery of a
previously unknown layer of the human cornea measuring just 15 micrometres thick
between the corneal stroma and Descemet's membrane.They refer to the reported layer
as Dua's layer.

58. Behçet

59. Hulusi Behçet
(20 February 1889 – 8 March 1948) was a Turkish dermatologist and
scientist. He described a disease of inflamed blood vessels in 1937

60. Uveitis in Behçet Disease

61. Behçet published his report in one of the most
widely read dermatologic journals of that time,
Dermatologische Wochenschrift. Six years before
that, a Greek ophthalmologist, Benedictos
Adamantiades, had reported a patient with the same
disorder, but regrettably, in the less widely read
French ophthalmological literature. Thus the disease
became widely known as Behçet’s disease
throughout most of the world. Ideally we should use
the term Adamantiades–Behçet’s Disease .

62. Benediktos Adamantiades
(1875 in Bursa – 1962 in Athens), Greek ophthalmologist. To honor his
major scientific medical contributions, Behçet's disease is often called
Adamantiades–Behçet's disease after him.

63. Reiter

64. Hans Conrad Julius Reiter
(February 26, 1881 – November 25, 1969) was an infamous German
physician

65. Reiter's Syndrome

66. The name "Reiter’s syndrome", named after the German physician Hans
Conrad Julius Reiter. He reported a German Lieutenant with non-
gonococcal urethritis, arthritis and uveitis. However it was not him, who
first describe this syndrome. The triad was reported by Feissinger &
Leroy, and Sir Benjamin Collins Brodie separately.
Reiter was a member of Nazi party and convicted of forced human
experimentation in the Buchenwald concentration camp. during the
Second World War, Hans Reiter designed typhus inoculation experiments
that killed more than 250 prisoners at concentration camps in
Buchenwald.
After the war, he was arrested by the Red Army in Soviet Union-occupied
Germany and tried at Nuremberg, where he was found guilty and interned
at an American prisoner-of-war camp. In 1977, a group of doctors began a
campaign for the term "Reiter's Syndrome" to be abandoned and
renamed "reactive arthritis".
